He said the ‘boys’ humiliated him and threatened to shoot one of the assembly members.
He added that the officers prevented him from accessing the auditorium where the elections were being conducted. He said they told him he doesn’t vote hence was not needed. But he as ex officio member of the assembly waa not the only one who was prevented. 10 other elected assembly members were prevented from participating in the mandatory exercise.
The embittered MP alleged that one of the officers told an assembly member called Aziz Dauda that if he dared talk, what happened at Ejura would happen again. He questioned if this is the kind of Ghana his men were trained to build.
